It will be nice to have more of this type of music. If you can turn in good performances I am sure they will be enjoyed by many people. The Kuhlau Sonatines are every bit as good as Clementi's, remember how Beethoven was very positive about Kuhlau. Diabelli and Burgmuller will raise fond memories for many people who ever suffered piano lessons.

We're not all so advanced here, though. Skills range from basic to excellent, which is how it should be in a place like this. So welcome to the gang.

I have no good means at the moment to record my playing at the moment, but I still do not play with enough confidence. A bit patience there!
Yes I also study Czerny. I forgot to mention that. It seemed obvious.
Anyway. I'll take a look often here.

You guys all play advanced pieces. Don't worry about that; we all start at the beginning and finish at the end.

I am closer to the beginning

Hehe Jennifer... I am also much closer to the beginning! Although - I enjoy practicing, and I suppose what keeps me going is looking at how far I've come rather than how far I have yet to go My teacher keeps telling me it is much much better to play a very basic piece well rather than a sloppy more advanced piece (although I very much fear that my well practiced rendition of twinkle twinkle little star will not impress too many people!)

Yes, that is the ticket ! Instead of being frustrated by what you cannot do, rejoice in what you can do. Instead of looking for the bad things, look for the good things and the improvement in your playing.

I have plenty of intermediate peices on my website you might be interested in. (they're are some advanced ones on there as well) Some of them are geared towards some of my students so they're not so difficult to play.

Hi,

This looks like a great sevice! I like several of your pieces. Thanks.
